But is it possible that even though it would benefit the world to have them gone, they might still retain just a spark of that original innocent worth?

I can go two ways with this:
1. Sometimes kids are NOT actually innocent. Budding psychopaths might start out torturing animals and then move up to murdering people.
2. There's the relativity factor like SD mentioned. You might meet me my mom and think she's swell. Personally, my life would be easier if she was dead. So there's that.
Then there's everyone else who's just damaged and can probably be helped.
